3 bedrooms, 2 bath. Pull-out sofa bed and 2 futons can be used for additional sleeping. The master suite includes a Jacuzzi tub and spa shower.

Watch the boats, listen to the seagulls. This home has a stunning view! From the house you can see Lake Michigan, Round Lake and Lake Charlevoix. You’ll want to spend all of your time on the large deck overlooking the harbor.

Perfect Location

We had a wonderful family vacation in this charming Charlevoix home. It was a perfect location for enjoying all Downtown has to offer with a quick walk to great restaurants, shopping, etc…. We loved the spacious deck with a beautiful view of the marina and Round Lake. It also had a nicely landscaped, private yard.The house had plenty of room to gather together but also room to spread out for personal space. The master suite level was large and very nice with a huge his/hers bathroom, as well as a second living area.. The wi-fi was strong enough for our daughter to work remotely and we had no problem streaming movies. The owner included special touches throughout which made it feel very comfortable.

Hidden Belvedere Gem

Our group makes an annual pilgrimage to Charlevoix to play Belvedere, and very fortunate to secure lodging at Belvedere Cottages as guests or renters. I have passed 102 Belvedere on walks many times and always wondered about it, the house itself is hidden by trees and landscaping. Finding the house as a rental is a funny story, but from the moment I walked into the house I realized this would be a special stay. The house & grounds radiate Janna's zen energy. The moment you enter the house you are under her spell, you pour that first gin & tonic, then mesmerized by the deck view you realize 2 hours later you haven't unloaded the car.

Downtown Charlevoix

102 Belvedere has way too many positive features/attributes/characteristics to list here. I'll list the one that was most important to me while on vacation: easy. The house, yard, location, parking, owner, etc. simply work. Zero issues.

Excellent home and location

Absolutely wonderful for so many reasons. Location is to die for, accommodations for a mix of older teens and adults, and equipped to make it easy to arrive and enjoy. This was our 2nd summer staying here and it’s truly an awesome experience.

Magnificent Vacation and Accommodations

Usually when you see a property online it looks better than in person. NOT THE CASE with 102 Belvedere in Charlevoix. It was a spectacular home and the host went out of here way to make sure every little detail was covered. The location couldn't be better. We walked everywhere and the views for BOTH decks were incredible. I couldn't have imagined staying at a nicer home than the one we stayed at. I'm so thankful for a fabulous family vacation!

Porch Sitting Sensation

If you're a deck lover who enjoys a view, this is your spot. Charlevoix is fantastic and this house owns one of the best views and locations possible. Our entire family has a fantastic week including our dog, Buster. If you're on the fence about a place to stay, look no further. This is your spot!

Wonderful experience in Charlevoix!

My husband and I, our 1-year old, and my in-laws stayed here at the end of September. The house exceeded our expectations with a view that can’t be beat, very clean, fully equipped, and accessible to everything we needed. Grocery store and downtown are just steps from our door, but the best part is the beautiful spacious deck and yard with a view of the harbor. The third floor loft was perfect for work for my husband with good wi-fi access. The house is decorated beautifully and had everything we needed from toiletries to fully stocked kitchen. The master bedroom and bathroom are huge and exceptional. Just a great family trip, enjoying beautiful evenings on the deck, al fresco dining in the yard, playing with the baby in the main room, nighttime games in the upstairs family room, and many walks around the neighborhood and to downtown to stop in the shops and restaurants. Our host Janna was also very attentive and accessible. Highly recommend!

Wonderful house in a great location!

Loved the property and Charlevoix! Our family of 5 enjoyed the house alot!!! Very comfortable and well stocked (from the kitchen to the bathrooms). The location is perfect - walking distance to town - restaurants, shops, grocery store, Lake Michigan beach. We walked everyday! We watched the sunset almost every day - beautiful! Ferry Beach is walkable but we drove since we had some water toys. Torch Lake is beautiful but farther. We even checked out Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Traverse City. Janna was very accessible to any questions and comments we have - thank you!!! We definitely want to come back!!!

Great Location and Home

We throughly enjoyed our stay. We have never been to northern Michigan and loved Charlevoix! The home is just a block to the beautiful downtown area. And talk about a well stocked home. I brought many things with me based on past VRBO home experiences. I needed none of them. An array of utensils, pots, pans, and serving dishes. She even supplied beach towels! We spent most our time on her patio that overlooked the harbor watching the world go by. She welcomed our dogs and the home has a great backyard for them to run in. While there, the internet went out throughout the town. Janna came over immediately with a portable WiFi (hot spot) since 3 of us were working while there. We had one concern when heading into Michigan during Covid-- masks. Since they aren't mandatory in the state we were concerned about safety. We were thrilled to see stores and restaurants requiring them. Everyone had masks and were wearing them!!! So in these crazy times this is a great place to get away to.

About the host

Hosted by Janna Wieland

Owner of the property since 2011.

Why they chose this property

Park your car and walk to everywhere you want to be! No need to deal with the traffic. You will love this location!

What makes this property unique

The definition of Brigadoon in Webster’s Dictionary is “a place that is idyllic, unaffected by time, or remote from reality.”

You may be familiar with the musical or movie “Brigadoon”. It is a musical with a book and lyrics by Lerner and music by Loewe that premiered in New York City in 1947 at the Ziegfeld Theatre.

The story is of a mythical village in the Scottish Highlands. The village became enchanted centuries ago remaining unchanged and invisible to the outside world except for one special day every hundred years when it could be seen and even visited by outsiders. This enchanted day is spent in joy and celebration. Those who happen upon Brigadoon may remain in this beguiling place after that magical day only if they love another enough to give up the world outside.
Charlevoix is the magical place. Chances are that you, like me, will enjoy the celebrations here and will appreciate that the natural beauty has been unaffected by time.

My career led me to live in many different places and to travel to many countries. Though it was Charlevoix that I couldn’t seem to forget, and it was here that I eventually moved back to. That is why I fondly call my house Brigadune (dune to reflect the wonderful beaches here). Now I enjoy the magic here every day. I hope you will find it magical too.
